Project overview

The aim of this project is the elucidation of phosphoproteins regulated during apoptosis. This will be accomplished by the establishment of methods for the differential analysis of protein phosphorylations. The project should lead to targets for novel therapeutic approaches to apoptosis related diseases. Of great interest to the biotechnological industry will also be the detection of new targets for the manipulation of apoptosis during production processes with cell cultures to prolong the cultivation time and therefore increase the productivity.
